Usage Tips  
If the camera does not work as intended, or if  
an error message is displayed on the screen,  
and you are unsure of what to do, refer to the  
information below to x the problem(s).  
Monitor  
“Difcult to see”.  
Condensation*1 may have occurred. Turn off the  
power, and wait for the camera body to become  
acclimated to the surrounding temperature and dry  
out before taking pictures.  
Troubleshooting  
*1  
Dew drops can form in the camera when it is  
suddenly taken from a cold location into a warm,  
humid room.  
Battery  
“The camera does not work even when  
batteries are installed”.  
“Vertical lines appear on the screen”.  
This condition may occur when the camera is  
pointed at an extremely bright subject under a  
clear sky and so on. The lines do not appear,  
however, in the nal image.  
Insert new or recharged batteries in the correct  
direction.  
“Inserting the battery” (p. 10)  
Battery performance may have been reduced  
temporarily due to low temperature. Take the  
batteries out of the camera, and warm them by  
putting them in your pocket for a while.  
“The light is caught in the picture”.  
Shooting with ash in dark situations results in  
an image with many ash reections on dust in  
the air.  
Card/Internal memory  
“An error message is displayed”.  
“Error message” (p. 52)  
Date and time function  
“Date and time settings return to the  
default setting”.  
If the batteries are removed and left out of the  
camera for about 3 days*2, the date and time  
settings return to the default setting, and must  
be reset.  
Shutter button  
“No picture is taken when the shutter  
button is pressed”.  
*2  
The time until the date and time settings return  
to the default setting varies depending on how  
long the batteries have been loaded.  
Cancel sleep mode.  
To save battery power, the camera automatically  
goes into sleep mode and the monitor turns off  
if there is no operation for 3 minutes when the  
camera is turned on. No picture is taken even if  
the shutter button is fully pressed in this mode.  
Operate the zoom lever or other buttons to restore  
the camera from sleep mode before taking a  
picture. If the camera is left for another 12 minutes,  
it automatically turns off. Press the n button  
to turn the camera on.  
“Setting the date, time and time zone” (p. 12)  
Miscellaneous  
“The camera makes a noise when taking  
pictures”.  
The camera may activate the lens and make a  
noise even if no operation is performed. This  
is because the camera automatically performs  
actions of auto focus as far as it is ready to shoot.  
Press the qbutton to switch to the shooting  
mode.  
Wait until #(ash charge) stops blinking before  
taking pictures.  
With prolonged camera use, the internal  
temperature may increase, resulting in automatic  
shutdown. If this occurs, remove the battery  
from the camera and wait until the camera  
has sufciently cooled. The camera’s external  
temperature may also increase during use,  
however this is normal and does not indicate  
malfunction.

The camera tracks the subject movement  
automatically to focus on it continuously.  
When a picture is taken of a shadowy subject, the  
CCD*1 shifts to correct for camera shake even if  
the ISO speed is not increased. This function is  
also effective when taking pictures at a high zoom  
magnication.

Shooting movies using [IS MOVIE MODE]  
(p. 32)  
In the following cases, after focusing on an object  
(by pressing the shutter button halfway down) with  
high contrast at the same distance as the subject,  
compose the shot, and take the picture.  
Select C (SPORT) in the scene mode (p. 20)  
The C (SPORT) mode uses a fast shutter speed  
and can reduce the blur incurred by a moving  
subject.

Taking pictures of a subject against a backlight  
Faces or backgrounds are bright even when shot  
against backlight.  
If the picture is taken with a high ISO sensitivity,  
noise (small colored spots and color unevenness  
that were not in the original image) can occur, and  
the image can appear grainy.

A tip for panoramic shooting  
Taking pictures using [FILL IN] (p. 25) ash  
Taking pictures by pivoting with the camera at the  
center prevents shifting of the image. When taking  
pictures of close objects in particular, pivoting with  
the lens end at the center produces favorable  
results.  
A subject against backlight is brightened.  
Taking pictures of a white beach or snow  
scene  
Set the mode to [q BEACH & SNOW] (p. 20)  
Taking pictures using exposure compensation  
(p. 26)  
[PANORAMA] (p. 22)  
Adjust the brightness while viewing the screen  
for taking the picture. Normally, taking pictures of  
white subjects (such as snow) results in images  
that are darker than the actual subject. Use the  
exposure compensation to adjust in the positive  
(+) direction to express whites as they appear.  
When taking pictures of black subjects, on the  
other hand, it is effective to adjust in the negative  
(-) direction.  
Batteries  
“Making batteries last longer”  
Avoid any of the following operations when not  
actually taking pictures because they deplete  
the battery power  
Repeatedly pressing the shutter button  
halfway.  
Repeatedly using the zoom.  
Color hue

“Taking pictures with colors at the same  
shade as they appear”  
Taking pictures by selecting white balance  
(p. 27)  
Best results in most environments can normally  
be obtained with the [WB AUTO] setting, but for  
some subjects, you should try experimenting  
with different settings. (This is especially true for  
sunshade under a clear sky, mixed natural and  
articial light settings, and so on.)  
Taking pictures using [FILL IN] (p. 25) ash  
Use of the ash is also effective for shooting under  
uorescent and other articial lighting.
